The dermal absorption and excretion of dodecylamine in hairless mice was examined at various concentrations (50, 5, 0.5, and 0.05%) in different vehicles (squalane, used in cosmetics; castor oil, and triethylcitrate,TEC).

The dermal absorption reached 30 to 57% of the applied dose when dodecylamine was 0.05 to 5% in squalane. The dermal absorption of the amine was higher than that of other C12 compounds (lauryl alcohol, acid, or methyl ester). Approx 80% of the absorbed dose was metabolised and expired as carbon dioxide within 24 h.
